[Papervision3D] Avoiding Cube materials warning message

[Gordon Everett]

You could do what saqoosha did with his new years eve Flar project - give 3 sides of the cube a color material and then use colormatrixfilter to cancel out the colors effectively making them invisible. Should be OK performance wise too
